This PR establishes the initial infrastructure required to migrate gpt4all away from reliance on the IFW framwork by implementing a custom updater.
This custom updater (currently headless only) can perform the same operations as the existing updater with the option for more functionality to be added and most importantly, is installer agnostic, meaning gpt4all can start to leverage platform specific installers.

Implements both offline and online installation and update mechanisms.

Currently leverages the existing ifw installers (and is thus slightly facile) but will soon be able to leverage prototype platform installers.

Initial implementation of: #2878

Testing artifacts and instructions for driving said tests can be found in the README and tmp directory under the gpt4all-updater directory.
